Cesarean Section is Major Abdominal Surgery
2025/08/18
Cesarean Delivery: Major Abdominal Surgery
Welcome back to The Critical Care Obstetrics Podcast with hosts Suzanne McMurtry Baird (Nursing Director) and Stephanie Martin (Medical Director) of Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics.
In this episode, we explore why cesarean delivery is not just another routine procedure—but truly a major abdominal surgery. While C-section is the most common surgical procedure performed in U.S. hospitals, its seriousness is often overlooked because of its frequency. We discuss:
Why 1 in 3 births by cesarean should not normalize the risksThe role of evidence-based practices: avoiding the first cesarean, neuraxial anesthesia, infection prevention, and family-centered careWhat makes it a major surgery: open abdomen, incision types, considerations in obese patients, and classical cesarean challengesSafety for mothers, babies, and support persons in the ORCommon complications including VTE, infection and sepsis, blood loss, injury to other organs, and the rising risk of placenta accreta spectrumWe also highlight our new lecture in the Postpartum Course covering PACU care and Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean, including RN qualifications, complication management, and communication essentials.
